"Your life is yours alone. Rise up and live it" and " Life and Death are always at war with one another, and Death always wins" the last one is one that I came up with. The first is from Terry Goodkind.

I'm gone
Just a whisper
I see you
But you can't see me
I hear you
But no matter how I yell, you can't hear me
My tears run red
I know now, I'm dead
You said my name today
I whispered 'yes?' in your ear
Finally, you hear
I feel your hand in mine
Warmth overcoming the cold of death
The world comes rushing back
I see your face
I see your eyes
I cry, because I know I'm alive
My tears no longer run red
I'm in this word
No longer a whisper
No longer dead
